"The New Complete Alaskan Malamute" is a spectacular panorama of a book about a breed with an evolutionary history like no other. Authors Riddle and Harris begin by tracing the origins of the Eskimo peoples to whom these wonderful dogs first belonged, using the anthropologists' Theory of Radiation on prehistoric migration across the Bering Strait. They then tell the story of the central role that this heroic native dog has played in some of the most exciting and dangerous episodes in American history: the search for a Northwest passage to Asia, the Klondike gold rush, Admiral Byrd's explorations of the Antarctic. Malamutes even did their part in World War II, as pack and search-and-rescue dogs."
